The course covers a range of topics, including literacy and numeracy development, basic communication skills, and workplace readiness. Students will learn essential skills such as understanding and following instructions, participating in workplace communication, and managing tasks efficiently.

The curriculum also includes modules on personal development, teamwork, and planning career pathways, ensuring that students are equipped to navigate both their current job prospects and future educational goals.

In the face-to-face delivery model, structured learning activities will keep students engaged through a combination of interactive workshops, group discussions, and hands-on exercises. Students will work on real-world tasks that simulate workplace environments, encouraging collaborative problem-solving and skills application.

The practical focus allows students to directly experience the relevance of their learning, fostering a deeper understanding of key concepts. In addition, personalized feedback from instructors will help students build confidence, address challenges, and track progress. This engaging, structured approach ensures that students not only gain technical skills but also develop the confidence and adaptability needed for success in their vocational pathways.

Access Skills Training was the best experience for me, and the best thing that I could have done.

Course Participant Kylie

Completed Cert IV in Disability with AST online, trainers were extremely helpful and the online portal was easy to navigate. Would highly recommend AST.

Course Participant Emma

I have recently completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care through AST under the guidance of Carley who has been absolutely incredible as a trainer. The online studies made it fit into my busy life schedule, anywhere. I would highly recommend AST to anyone looking to get into the Early Childhood Education field.

Course participant Rebecca

I wanted a change of careers and AST went above and beyond to find a course that suited my needs, the enrolment process was a breeze and I was supported through the process. Starting a course as an adult was very nerve racking, but the trainer I had ensured every single students needs were met and catered his teaching style to suit their needs, a very inclusive organisation and a very safe environment to be in.
